Liveblogging Make Me a Supermodel: Gay Ronnie Better Be Safe Edition

Have you all recovered from the shock that was Ronniegate? Last week when Make Me a Supermodel ended with our gay fave Ronnie Kroell in the Bottom 3, I knew there would be a huge outpouring of emotion and thanks to everyone that commented on our site and voted for Ronnie in the hours that followed.

I'm sure our efforts will be rewarded and tonight we'll see Ronnie snuggling up to Prison Ben! Do you think they exchanged Valentine's this morning? Did Ronnie run around the house stressing like Charlie Brown did with the little Red Haired Girl? I hope so. Squee!

Tonight the models will learn how to translate an emotional scene into a killer photograph and it looks like tensions run high as Perry gets a call from home. Perry honey, if you need a shoulder to cry on or a rebound date just give me or any of the viewers a holler, I'm sure we can make time.

Get ready to witness Week 6 of the gayest reality show on television, Make Me a Supermodel...

11:00PM EST: The show's just about to close and there's a real chance that Ronnie is in the Bottom 3 again this week. Tyson is about to tell us who's up for the vote. Stephanie, Frankie and Ronnie are the Bottom 3 for Week 6. Wow! Ronnie looks devastated but keep your head high kid! We're about to start the barrage of calls, texts, and online votes.

To Vote For Stephanie - Dial 1-866-I-WANT-01, or Text 1 to 5-1555

To Vote Online for Ronnie head on over to Bravo's site and vote up to 10 times for our boy.

Well, it's not what I wanted to see happen this late in the game. Right now Ronnie should be a seasoned pro but obviously something has shaken his confidence. Ronniegate continues. Remember to vote for Ronnie and to also share your thoughts on this week's episode in the comments section below.

 

10:55PM EST: Time for the Catwalk Assignment! Stephanie and Holly are out first and it's bondage meets Nursing. Steph looks a little like Kylie Minogue impersonating Madonna but in a way that's just all wrong. I'm not feeling it. Frankie and Shannon are Zorro and a Circus Performer. I don't quite understand the outfits and how the two personas work together. Perry and Casey hit the runway as Shakespeare and Gwyneth Paltrow? I don't like this assignment at all. If Perry and Casey were supposed to be a gay they needed to reenact the bedroom brawl from a couple weeks ago. That was hot!

Jacki takes the runway by herself and is the only one since Holly to look like a model. Ziggy Stardust Ronnie and Prison Ben have the most energy but the makeup is not attractive. This is the worst catwalk assignment yet. That's a shame coming off the Bryant Park runways.

Deliberations: Holly, Perry and Shannon are the cats meow this week with Shannon taking the win and immunity going into next week's episode. You can't help side with the Judges here. Ronnie is getting dogged and you can't help but wonder if Ben is bringing him down. He started out with great looks, a wonderful walk, and a confidence that allowed him to shine without being cocky. The way he takes to the runway lately is a little arrogant, as if he doesn't need to work as hard as he did the first week. Step it up Ronnie, we're all rooting for you!

 

10:35PM EST: Time to celebrate Valentines Day! The girls are shopping for decor while the boys go shopping for food. I'm a little worried about how the food will come out and a little worried about what drinks could lead to.

Surprise Time! Each of the models has a video valentine from loved ones. I'm dying to see Prison Ben's Wife! Will she have a picture of Ronnie that she rips up ala Sinead on SNL? Jacki's boyfriend is a total hottie! Ben's wife is a blonde, so not what I expected. Cute doggie too. Holly's Fiance is a total beefcake as well! I guess if you're a model you can get model tail in return. Hot! Ronnie's Mom had a short but sweet message that led Ronnie to talk about his coming out process and how it impacted his relationship with his Mother.

Scandal! Perry didn't get a video valentine but instead got to call his girlfriend at home who is none to pleased with the boy. She's crying cheater but can't seem to back it up. I'm not saying my boy is a saint but on your anniversary you need to give the boy some love not some hate. Who wants to take wagers on how long that relationship lasts?

10:25PM EST: Ronnie is paired with Frankie and Holly for a shoot that pits Frankie against Ronnie for Holly's affections. Listening to Ronnie try to woo her is painfully embarassing. Holly seemed a little turned on by it but I don't see "Phone Sex Operator" in his future.

This is the second week in a row that Ronnie was criticized for not having the proper look for this competition. That's not good.

Shannon, Steph and Casey also play a love triangle, could they not think of another scene to play? I'm a little bored by this. Stephanie was all about the lesbian acts a couple weeks back but now she's complaining that she can't really get into character and slap Casey. What's that all about?

This photographer is reminding me of Andrea Bocelli, am I alone?

After the shoot its time for drama once again at the loft. Perry is being called out as a sexist egotistical lying hypocretical bigot... call Dolly Parton and get a lasso!

Tyson pops in on the kids and tells them that their CATWALK ASSIGNMENT will require some homework. Each group gets a theme/character to work with (high Society, Rock Stars, Villians, Bitch, etc).

Ronnie and Ben have paired up for Rock Stars so I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with. I'm praying for no air guitar action. Watching everyone practice their character is like watching rehearsals in Waiting For Guffman but without Parker Posey or the funny or...

10:12PM EST: As last night's episode of Project Runway wraps up I can't help but think how happy I am that Chris made it to the finals! I doubt they will give him Fashion Week over the incredibly refined Rami but seriously with that draping - enough already.

Alright, on to the show! Even though its only been a week since the last episode, it feels like a month. I've missed the gang and I'm glad they're back to kick some haute couture ass!

Aw, we start the show with Ronnie and Prison Ben shirtless in their beds. A nice familiar sight! Ronnie, Katy and Frankie head to eliminations and Frankie needs to go home just for wearing that hideous Flavor Flav clock. Flavor of Frankie doesn't work for me.

Ronnie is safe! No real surprise there. I knew we all would rally around the kid and vote to keep him around longer.

Katy is going home and the Judges agree with America's decision. Bummed that we're stuck with Frankie for a little while longer but I'll get over it.

Back at the loft, its the normal chatter about those on the block but luckily there is less trash talking than normal. Oops spoke too soon, Perry and Jacki are at each others throats again. Get a room already.

Ronnie and Frankie walk in and I'm choosing to ignore the hideous macho line he yelped.

PHOTO ASSIGNMENT: TELLING A STORY - The models are now at Bleeker St. Theatre and Tyson's looking rad in red... did they plan this in honor of Valentines Day? The challenge is to show emotion in a single frame. The models are paired up and off to hair and makeup!

First up: Perry, Jacki and Ben. Perry and Jacki are getting a little personal in their "preten" fighting. I don't know how the shots will come out but its fun to watch. Ben is getting lost in the drama though, I barely notice him and that's not good. Can we talk about Perry's heinous sheer top? It's Miami Vice meets International Male.

 

 

9:45PM EST: So honestly guys, do you think it's a girl or a guy going home tonight? I want to say that Katy will finally be thrown out on her ass but you never know, Frankie Fawcett is not a fan fave. Fingers crossed for Ronnie. See you all in a few...

choppy editing

i caught it too, at first i thought i missed it but then you mentioned it and yeah she was absent. I think ben was also absent in the final judging . Nothing was said about him , "Like you are safe from elimination you can leave or something" . I think it was an editing error.

Editing

They've done this every week and the lot of us complain each time. For some reason not all of the models are shown during Judging and that's annoying. I know we're all smart enough to know that they are safe but I'd like to see their reactions and the reactions of the other models as each learns their fate. Overall a minor complaint for this show!

Hey Hey Hey! BIM's the Only Way!

OMG, they TOTALLY put a BIM Mark from the classic musical disaster The Apple  on Ronnie's forehead. Andy and I almost plotzed when we saw it.

Ronnie wronged

I could see why Ronnie made the bottom 3 last week for his swinging arms on the runway, but I didn't think he deserved it last night. Why didn't he get any credit for rocking the photo shoot, where he played sexy? Holly loved it. After coming on so strong the first few weeks, the judges seem to be fixated on Ronnie being ''too all-American.'' Of course, I want to see the arrogant Frankie get eliminated, but I fear Ronnie's days might be numbered; I'd really miss the friendship between Ronnie and Ben.

I really think it is all in

I really think it is all in the hair for Ronnie. You look at the first pictures they took of him for the Bravo website and his hair is slicked back and he doesn't look "All-American" anymore. He still has that look to him but it takes a lot of it away from him. They keep giving him that american hair style that looks great on him but do something different! If someone is told they are too American shouldn't the make up artists and hair stylists try not to keep him from looking the same?

 

They did forget that Ronnie did well in the photo shoot too. The whole juding part of the show is always edited poorly and I feel like they just edit half of the stuff out that would explain why they feel some of them are good and soe of the models are worse. I wisht hey would be like American Idol and have a second episode every week that was a half an hour long showing who gets voted off and more detail on why the three are th ebottom three. I dunno thats just me. The show is alright but even with Ronnie in it who I enjoy watching this is getting a little...repetitive.

Ronnie will survive yet again!

While I want Frankie Fawcett to go, I am afraid that the female audience members will again fail one of their own and Steph will be gone. While she was terrible, esp. after the awesome pontential that she has shown, Frankie is such filler as was Jay. I am starting to wonder what the judges/Ronnie see in Ben as he's also a one note guy. To save girls, I am betting that the bottom 3 will be male no matter how things play out this week.

Every one needs to move aside for my initial top 4 pics: Perry, Ronnie, Holly, and Jacki. I agree with Angelmonster about Ronnie's hair. He also got hosed with that make-up job as Ben looked much better without that triangle. Advice: Kick Ben to the curb, hang out with Steph (if she makes it) and Holly, focus on number one, and if it's in the cards, he and Ben can sneak some love when the cameras are not around. This bromance was cute for a week, but Ronnie may find himself in the bottom three yet again unless he washes that man out of his hair.

And how about those hot bfs? Holly and Jacki's other halves have major curb appeal. Ben's wife? Not so much. I know, why are some gay men so mean? But it she were hot, I'd be the first one to comment on it. Just like Stephanie's butt. I am 100% gay, but Stephanie was rocking that thong.

The last two shows have not held a candle to any of the ones that aired before, even the casting special. They need to squeeze in at least two highbrow photo shoots and a little skin too. Go Ronnie!

Ronnie's Self Sabotage

It may be my imagination but it looks like Ronnie's feelings for Ben are sabatoging himself. He seems to have lost himself.

I think they have something against him because Casey is much worse and he was safe.
